The park was a cool historic landmarker, I'd say. The ground was a huge guitar shape, with markers for famous musicians of the 50s era.

There’s an eclectic little gift shop and a decent pizza place with cold beer next to it, which — combined with a clear day — made for a near-perfect experience. The term “unforgettable” gets thrown around a lot, but in this case it really does apply. We watched a total eclipse of the sun in a Beatles-themed park in lovely Walnut Ridge, AR. Highly...
